Diddordebau ymchwil
My research focusses on the microstructural damage caused to stone heritage by ballistic impacts. I am interested in the relationship between visible damage and internal damage networks at both the macro- and microscale. I work in collaboration with the 'Heritage in the Crossfire' research group developing field methodology for assessing internal damage based on non-destructive testing.

Microstructures and Deformation Mechanisms of Ballistic Impacts in Stone
The overall aim of my research is to understand the mechanisms of damage to stone heritage that results from ballistic impacts. Significant cultural heritage throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is at risk of being damaged, whether intentionally or inadvertently, during conflicts. Through a series of experiments, I hope to characterise the damage that is imposed on stone constructions and link this to surface expressions of damage measured using non-destructive techniques. This outcome will inform future remediation and conservation efforts of conflict damaged heritage.
